JUST AS I EXPECTED

Lauren Conrad had her first-ever fashion show for Fall 2008 this Tuesday at Smashbox Studios is Culver City for L.A. Fashion Week as I mentioned earlier, and the turnout was just as I had presumed:

What they saw was a plain, mostly black, dark purple, grey and white collection of dresses and tunics over leggings, most made of jersey or cottons. Highlights included the Juliette strapless bubble dress done in black lace adorned with a bow belt showing an obvious influence of Fifties Audrey Hepburn style; and the Ariele ruffle long dress, with a plunging halter and bodice flounce. Also pretty were the pieces done in the "Le Jardin" print, huge black flowers against a white background. The best of that group was the strapless, sweetheart-neckline "Elizabeth" dress. Other looks ranged from skintight (and unforgiving even on the models) sheaths to multi-tiered minidresses that looked more like maternity wear than skinny fashionista's next must-haves. Conrad chose a variety of necklines for her fashions, from plunging to the waist fronts to boatnecks, scoops, straight-line strapless, and one-shoulder asymmetrical looks, some more flattering to the models than others, but certainly an attempt to offer something for everyone.

But overall, any hope that Lauren Conrad is the world's next great designer was dashed by her first foray into the world of clothes. There was absolutely nothing new or innovative in her collection.

Peep some pictures to see what all the fuss...NOT fuss...is all about:
I mean come on, LC, as a womenswear fashion designer, don't you see that these kinds of tops flattens your boobs in a training bra kind of way?Clean silhouette but still kind of bleh:Again, the flattening boob halter, but the ruffles and the contrasting color make up for some of it:She's introduced prints in her collection - surprise!I think the people in attendance were more interesting to look at than her collection itself. Guess who was in the house? KC - favorite biatch of OC. But why is her top scrunched up like that? You can also definitely see her bra...And of course, Brody...mm.. oh and Frankie...er..cool shades, dude.No more, LC, just stick to creating drama by whining and being so ambiguous about men on the Hills. That's all.
